On Windows 9x (I don't know whether things are the same on NT) you can
use something like:

(system:call-system-showing-output
              "D:\\foo.bat" ; executable file
              :show-cmd t
              :prefix ">> "
              :output-stream *standard-output*)

If SHOW-CMD is TRUE, the command's output is shown on OUTPUT-STREAM with
each line prefixed by PREFIX.

Sorry -- I got the details of the keyword arguments wrong.

OUTPUT-STREAM specifies a stream to which the output is sent.
SHOW-CMD specifies whether the command itself (in the above case the
string "D:\\foo.bat") should be included in the output.
Each output line is prefixed by PREFIX.
